Trunks and Tails

Well I made it to Arkansas! Not without the occasional look like I am a crazy person...what? Apparently Fort Smithians have never seen a gal with a trunk and a fox tail. Whatevs.

I found another new trunk yesterday at an antique store and it was a STEAL!

On another note...I came across this photo from the show and I am dying over it. Im talking with all the designers before the show and Margo Moritz captured it

All for now! Running to meet one of my closest high school friends for dinner!

Holiday Windows

It has been embarrassingly long since I have posted. There really isnt an excuse other than the fact that I have been sewing my life away, helping put on an AMAZING fashion show, designing and creating a piece for the show, photo shoots, internship, school and j living life =)

I promise to make some posts soon about the show and everything else I have been up to since Sept! But here is a quick post with some gorgeous window displays in New York. We have some pretty awesome windows displays here in SF. I need to get down to Union Square so I can take some of my own!

I got all of these pics from the amazing refinery29

Prints and Graphics

Its been a while again but midterms were taking up ALL of my time. By all of my time I mean staying at school until the security guards kicked me out at midnight and was back there at 730 am...Yea that bad. I have been getting some amazing projects done though. Not to brag but my illustrations are pretty bomb and I made a super bad ass jacket =)

While researching for yet another midterm project I of course was using Style Sight. I dont know what I am going to do when I am no longer a student and I cannot access this site for free. Anyway here is a few layouts I found from their Prints and Graphics section that I am OBSESSED with.

Gorgeous right?

They bags from top left across are Dolce and Gabanna, Dries Van Noten, Giles Deacon, Hermes, BCBG Max Azria (back to left center) Hermes, Mulberry, Michael Kors, Jil Sanders, Kenzo, Nanette Lepore (bottom left) Ports 1962, Louis Vuitton, Moschino, Unique, Marc Jacobs

I saved the best for last...I have seen this bag twice now and I LITERALLY cant breathe when I see it. I want to own it more than you will ever know. Drum roll please...Dries Van Noten! It is everything I love rolled into one. Giant bag? check. Exotic leather? check. Dries? Check! I will either own this one day..or make it for myself. Im guessing the 2nd will come first. But thats ok =)

Ok so I am officially the worst blogger ever..Sat was my blog birthday and I missed it! =(

On another note I am doing a project on one of my fav stores in the Haight Asbury district of SF called Loved To Death. They sell taxidermy, art, jewelry antiques and everything in between. It is super creepy and I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it! It is where I got my fox tail and beetle earrings.Victorian mourning necklace Ring made out of a human toothPigeon wing hair clip
